I know, I know. It's been awhile since I last updated. I've been really, really busy with end-of-year/Christmas madness, scrambling to get everything taken care of in terms of shopping, work, etc/ before I take off to Phoenix.

Nvidia finally released drivers for my 3D gaming glasses, but unfortunately, Tribes 2 is one of the games that doesn't work well with them. Sigh. But the 3-D versions of Quake 3 and Castle Wolfenstien are pretty cool.

Another cool thing I have to mention: for those of you who use multiple instant-messaging systems, Trillian is an excellent instant-messaging client that aggregates your Yahoo, AIM, ICQ and MSN accounts into a single application. No more having to run multiple programs just to keep in touch. You won't be able to use the most advanced features of your favorite instant-message systems, but Trillian does a superb job of handling the basics of sending and receiving messages -- and that's really the point, isn't it? One minor detail: my Yahoo"Web presence" indicator (the smiley-face under the "contact me" section of this site) makes it appear as if I'm offline, even when I'm not.
